known from Central America and Mexico^ 55 (7) are known from United 

 States. 



As before, the numbers in parentheses refer to genera of more or less 

 restricted distrilnition. Mysniena, CeratineUa and Hyctia are Holarctic 

 o-enera which are for tlie first time in West Indian list and now onlv bv 

 reason of beino- found in Cuba. The others (Ischnofhele. ~}Iiagram- 

 iiiopes, Dysderina. Opopcea, Artema, Steplianopsis, Syrisca, Hahnia, Oxyo- 

 peidon, Pellenes and Saitis) are considered rather fully in the discussions 

 concerning the individual islands and also in the taxonomic part of this 

 paper. 



Of the 117 genera in the Greater Antilles. 34 (29.1 per cent, of the 

 total) are practically world wide in their distribution. This leaves 33 

 genera which have a more or less restricted range in the eastern hemi- 

 sphere. Of these 10 (30.3 per cent.) are found in central or northern 

 Europe; 13 (39.1: per cent.) in the Mediterranean region; 22 {6Q.7 per 

 cent.) in Africa; T (21.2 per cent.) in Madagascar; 23 (69.7 per cent.) 

 in continental Asia; 3 (9.1 per cent.) in Ceylon: 7 (21.2 per cent.) in 

 Japan; 6 (18.2 per cent.) in the Philippines; 8 (24.2 per cent.) in 

 Malasia : 5 (15.2 per cent.) in the smaller Pacific islands and 9 (27.3 

 per cent.) in Australia and jSTew Zealand. 



The American distribution of genera found in the Greater Antilles is 

 shown in Table VII and those found in the Lesser Antilles are added 

 for comparison.
